Grayscale^® Ethereum Classic Trust™ was created for investors seeking exposure to Ethereum Classic through a familiar investment vehicle.

Its investment objective is for the value of its shares to reflect the price performance of Ethereum Classic, less fees and expenses. Grayscale^® Ethereum Classic Trust is solely and passively invested in Ethereum Classic.

The price at which ETCG trades in the public market is subject to market forces.

ETCG is an investment vehicle that enables investors to gain access and exposure to Ethereum Classic in the form of a security without the challenges of buying, storing, and safekeeping Ethereum Classic directly. Shares are distributed through sales in private placement transactions and become eligible to sell into the public market after a statutory six-month holding period. While an investment in the shares is not a direct investment in Ethereum Classic, the shares are designed to provide investors with a cost-effective and convenient way to gain investment exposure to Ethereum Classic. The shares are quoted on OTCQX under the ticker symbol “ETCG.” 

ETCG’s investment objective is for its shares (based on Ethereum Classic per share) to reflect the value of the Ethereum Classic held by ETCG, less ETCG’s expenses and other liabilities. 

As noted in ETCG’s disclosure on the OTC Markets website under the headers “Disclosure” and “Company Profile” respectively, to date, the Trust has not met its investment objective and the Shares quoted on OTCQX have not reflected the value of Ethereum Classic held by the Trust, less the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities, but instead have traded at both premiums and discounts to such value, which at times have been substantial. In the event the Shares trade at a substantial premium or discount, investors who purchase Shares on OTCQX will pay substantially more or less, respectively, for their Shares than investors who purchase Shares in the private placement.

Digital currencies such as Ethereum Classic serve multiple roles in a diversified portfolio:

• As an inflation hedge and store of value in a landscape of currency debasement and decreasing purchasing power 
• As an uncorrelated return asset to provide diversification relative to stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, and real estate.
• As an investment in emerging technology with growth exposure, as digital assets shape the future of finance, computing, social networks, and other industries.

Buying and holding Ethereum Classic coin directly means you must set up a digital wallet where you manually buy and store your digital assets. ETCG offers investors an easy way to gain Ethereum Classic exposure without the time and effort of storing and safekeeping it. Just as with any other retail investment, investors may quickly and easily buy and sell shares of ETCG versus the time it may require to manage Ethereum Classic directly.

Certain Grayscale products may be accessed in brokerage accounts and in certain tax-advantaged accounts (e.g. IRAs, Self-Directed IRAs)

Digital currencies may provide diversification and non-correlation benefits. With the right-sized allocation, digital currency risks may be mitigated relative to potential gains, potentially providing returns while also helping to strengthen an investor’s overall risk/return profile.

Investments in ETCG are speculative investments that involve high degrees of risk, including a partial or total loss of invested funds. Grayscale products are not suitable for any investor that cannot afford the loss of the entire investment. Because ETCG does not currently operate a redemption program, there can be no assurance that the value of the Shares will reflect the value of ETCG’s assets, less ETCG’s expenses and other liabilities.
